About Multica: Source-available under the Multica License, not OSI open source. Self-hosting is available and Cloud has public sign-up without a published price. GitHub repos use parallel worktrees; the iOS app requires a source build. An issue can link any accessible PR by URL and show its status, CI and mergeability, but the GitHub integration is read-only: code review and merge remain on GitHub.
Prices are each vendor’s published starting point for the tool. Model access may need your own provider key or subscription, or may be included in a paid plan; compare those costs separately.
Where Control Center pulls ahead
An integrated PR review-and-merge cockpit, resumable DAG pipelines, meeting capture, calendar, memory and a code graph under an MIT licence. Multica has worktree-isolated runs and scheduled or webhook Autopilots, but its GitHub PR integration is read-only and actual merge happens outside the app.
